Bert Bevers: Ach, die continuïteit van de vergissing

 

Ach, die continuïteit van de vergissing

Er vallen geen muren meer en we betalen in
elkaars gewesten met gelijke munt. Toch wensen
mensen met een voorkeur voor harde letters
verre buren als bedreigend te ervaren. Afstand
vervoegd: verlangen naar een mythe in zwart-wit.

Het uur van wapperende stormen werd vervroegd.
Gretig olieden zij de wapenen, smoorden zij hun prooi
met leugens. Er bleken geen vijanden zonder vrienden.
En nu, nu wil vrijheid maar niets zeggen voor moeders
die dode kinderen wiegen. Met hen eisen de ouderen,

de wijze, het recht op om niet bevrijd te willen worden.

 

Bert Bevers

Op verzoek als gastdichter (oktober 2007) van Hernehim geschreven
